P. v. Yiu CA1/4
Appellant Marina Yiu appeals the trial court’s denial of her motion to suppress both evidence found at the time of her arrest and her post-arrest custodial statement. She argues that her landlord and co-resident could not consent to allow officers to enter and arrest her within her rented bedroom for the crime of vandalizing cars. We conclude that the officers did not have consent to enter Yiu’s bedroom, but even if the car keys found in her jacket at the time of her arrest should have been suppressed, any error in admitting the keys at trial was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. We further conclude the officers did have probable cause to arrest Yiu, so her subsequent Mirandized statement was admissible at trial. We affirm.
